  abstract = {{S}tratospheric aerosols from large tropical explosive volcanic eruptions backscatter shortwave radiation and reduce the global mean surface temperature. {O}bservations suggest that they also favour an {E}l {N}ino within 2 years following the eruption. {M}odelling studies have, however, so far reached no consensus on either the sign or physical mechanism of {E}l {N}ino response to volcanism. {H}ere we show that an {E}l {N}ino tends to peak during the year following large eruptions in simulations of the {F}ifth {C}oupled {M}odel {I}ntercomparison {P}roject ({CMIP}5). {T}argeted climate model simulations further emphasize that {P}inatubo-like eruptions tend to shorten {L}a {N}inas, lengthen {E}l {N}inos and induce anomalous warming when occurring during neutral states. {V}olcanically induced cooling in tropical {A}frica weakens the {W}est {A}frican monsoon, and the resulting atmospheric {K}elvin wave drives equatorial westerly wind anomalies over the western {P}acific. {T}his wind anomaly is further amplified by air-sea interactions in the {P}acific, favouring an {E}l {N}ino-like response.},
